Identification and characterization of a novel ABC iron transport system, fit, in Escherichia coli.

Infection and immunity - 1 Dec 2006

Ouyang Zhiming, Isaacson Richard

Abstract excerpt

A putative ABC transporter, fit, with significant homology to several bacterial iron transporters was identified in Escherichia coli. The E. coli fit system consists of six genes designated fitA, -B, -C, -D, -E, and -R. Based on DNA sequence analysis, fit encodes an outer membrane protein (FitA), a periplasmic binding protein (FitE), two permease proteins (FitC and -D), an ATPase (FitB), and a hypothetical...
